Through our industry partnerships we are reaching out to more schools and enabling better learning outcomes for thousands of young people.

Digital Schools Awards is a national awards scheme to promote, recognise and encourage a whole school approach to the use of digital technology in schools.

The Digital Schools Award Scotland is a 3-step programme to help schools assess progress and recognise excellence in the use of digital technology at nursery, primary, special education and secondary level while providing practical support and encouragement.  Secondary schools may also apply for special recognition for the inclusion of computational thinking in the planning and delivery of digital technology in the school.

The Digital Wellbeing Award for Cyber Resilience and Internet Safety is designed to provide education professionals with the resources and support required to help pupils safely navigate the digital world.

Schools that successfully complete the programme receive a nationally recognised award by Education Scotland.

Mvairi Lynch
Head Teacher of Bathgate Early Years Centre
The use of digital technology is embedded in our provision, pedagogy and practice. Staff have a very positive 'can do' attitude and utilise digital technology to support children’s learning and parental engagement at all levels. This award has given us an opportunity to evaluate our practice, identify our strengths and consider further innovations and developments with our partners.
Nick Thomson
Head Teacher of Lundavra Primary School
The Award Programme continues to have an impact on our digital learning in school as we link up with other schools using the programme through digital media and can share good practise and developments.
Ruth MacDonald
Head Teacher of Echt School
The award recognises the hard work by staff in our school but more importantly, the opportunities for all learners to gain the digital skills needed for the 21st century.
Ian Munroe
Head Teacher of Kelvinside Academy
We are exceptionally pleased and immensely proud that our strong commitment to digital technology and innovative teaching has been recognised. We do not view digital technology as a substitute for excellent classroom teaching, but we do see how it can enhance the learning environment for all our pupils. All schools should ensure their pupils have a strong grasp of the educational power of digital platforms so that they are well prepared for life after school.
